Difference between Utility and Helper classes

Aren't utility classes really the same concept as helpers? I mean utility methods don't extend an existing class such as helpers but the two types of methods really could be referred to as "Helpers" in either case.

Utility classes are useful by itself; whereas helper classes are classes with extension methods which will help extend the types.

Utility classes tend to be static methods and definitions, where as helper classes could be nodes in a linked list. That is how I use the terminology.
